Frequently asked questions
How do I convert my files?
Choose or drop your files, adjust the options if you like, then press “Extract text” and download the result.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device — safe for private photos and documents.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit. Very large files (hundreds of MB) depend on your device's memory and can be slow on phones.
Is it free?
Yes — free and unlimited, with no sign-up and no watermark.
About the formats
JPG
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. Its lossy compression keeps files small, which is ideal for photos, but it has no transparency.
PNG
PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency. It is best for screenshots, logos and graphics with text; photos saved as PNG are much larger than JPG.
